  • Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army
    Journal of Transformative Innovation Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army Steven E.S. Bussey Abstract While philosophies of innovation shun the past as cumbersome and archaic, history provides a map from which to rediscover ideas and avoid inefficient reinventions. This paper illustrates the value of history by exploring how the founders of The Salvation Army applied design thinking principles to tackle the wicked problem of bringing the gospel to East London in the nineteenth century. Catherine and William Booth’s personalities combined analytical mastery and intuitive originality to craft elegant solutions for this challenge. Utilizing Roger Martin’s Knowledge Funnel, the paper explores the organizational journey of this movement from mystery to heuristic to algorithm. The lessons gleaned from small experiments in East London were vital in refining the strategies to scale the mission worldwide. The Booths designed an organization that was both efficient and agile with constant reinvention built into its structure. Journal of Transformational Innovation, Vol. 3 Iss. 2, Fall 2018, pp. 1-11 © 2018 Regent University School of Business & Leadership Journal of Transformative Innovation Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army The Past: Friend or Foe of Innovation? The word “innovation” is often associated with the breaking free from the shackles of tradition to embrace something new and disruptive. In Leading the Revolution, Gary Hamel suggests that “we have developed the capacity to interrupt history - to escape the linear extrapolation of what was. Our heritage is no longer our destiny.” Placing the old guard against the vanguard and incumbency against imagination, this philosophy of innovation tends to be the dominant perspective.

  • Evangelical Revivals in New Zealand, and an Outline of Some Basic Principles of Revivals
    EVANGELICAL REVIVALS IN NEW ZEALAND -----//----- A History of Evangelical Revivals in New Zealand, and an Outline of Some Basic Principles of Revivals. -----//----- by Robert Evans and Roy McKenzie. -----//----- Published by the Authors, in conjunction with ColCom Press. PREFACE Many years of experience in the Lord's work, and the relative ease of retirement from parish responsibilities, have provided both of us with the time to carry out a work of love in presenting to the public this history of evangelical revivals in New Zealand. It is an aspect of the work of God which we believe is of enormous importance, both for church and for society, but which has been widely neglected for many years. The research for this book has relied, in the first instance, upon our privately-owned library resources. The main public libraries to which we are indebted are the New South Wales Uniting Church Archives Library and the Camden Library of the United Theological College, both in North Parramatta, the Hewitson Library of the Knox Theological Hall in Dunedin, the John Deane Memorial Library of the Bible College of New Zealand in Auckland (formerly The New Zealand Bible Training Institute), the Moore College Library (Anglican) in Sydney, and the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington. We also acknowledge the help of Miss Ferne Weimer, Director of the Billy Graham Center Library, in Wheaton, Illinois. We have also been indebted to many individuals. Chief amongst these have been the Rev. Dr. J. Graham Miller, now living in Wangaratta, Victoria, Dr. Brett Knowles of Dunedin, and the Rev. John Thomson, now living in Nelson.

  • IHQ Women's Bible Studies
    IHQ women’s bible studies IHQ women’s bible studies introduction DEAR SISTERS IN CHRIST, It is with glorious, inexpressible joy that I present to you our first in a series of five international women’s Bible studies that I believe will be inspiring, impactful and relevant for disciples of Jesus in this century. As women who are engaged in many roles, we need God’s Word to speak clearly into our hearts and minds, so that we not only experience his presence, but those around us will see Jesus’ love living in and through us. God is calling us to be people of influence and action wherever we find ourselves in our everyday, ordinary life. The call is clear – we must be holy people in an unholy world. In General Brian Peddle’s Call to Mission to the international Salvation Army, he urges Salvationists to ‘Be Ready’, which includes a specific call to holiness. He writes, ‘We must reflect Christlikeness in all aspects of life, recognising that holiness restores our humanity and relationships with God, others and the world.’ It is in response to this challenge that this Bible study series, Time to be Holy, was developed. It is a resource tool to be used for women and girls of all ages, as they discover and further cement the truth that it is possible to be holy in this chaotic and complicated world. Time to be Holy is a collection of 24 Bible studies developed by 24 women from different parts of our Salvation Army world. These women are passionate about holiness and their writings will inspire and challenge us to be women with clean hands and pure hearts.
